Love Island fans convinced they've worked out Harry's ‘secret gameplan'
LOVE Island fans are sure they've worked out Harry's tactics as he seems to cool on Helena. Things heated up in the Spanish villa on the ITV2 reality dating show during a 4 Love Island fans think they've got Harry all worked out Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 And their theories are not good news for Helena Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Harry rate his ex Emma's kiss higher than the other Love Island women Credit: Shutterstock Editorial But some viewers think some of the Islanders are not interested in finding love at all and are actually on the show to play a "long game" and get themselves on to the upcoming season of Love Island All-Stars. "Anyone else getting the vibe that some of these islanders are the long game?" wrote one curious fan on Reddit. "Maybe they want a connection and the prize money, but I swear knowing All Stars is coming up feels like it actually benefits them to just mess around more. Why bother with serious commitment when you know you might get another shot at fame anyway?" Another fan replied saying they believed this was exactly Harry's strategy. love island "This is Harry entire gameplay, he's not serious about any girl, he just want to be known as a menace and get on All Stars," they replied. Another person added: "Exactly! Even if they don't win, they'll get much more money and fame staying as a couple with deals etc for a while until it no longer serves them and then they'll break up once they've reached a certain level. Lots of previous couples have done this." And a third wrote: "It's sadly becoming more common I think. People have seen what it's done for people's success in terms of followers, brand deals etc. so use it as a way to gain those perks rather than love. However, the show has been a bit more unsuccessful the past few seasons and I think the audience have started to see through the schemes." Fans watched during Sunday night's episode how Harry admitted his exes, Emma and Shakira kissed better than Helena, after snogging them both in the secret challenge. Most read in TV The lads were blindfolded and wearing headphones, while the girls made their way down the line and smooched each of them in turn.

When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten." Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me."

Feel free to disagree with me but I don't think Emma and Harry ended up on the same season of the same show was a coincidence. 'There's something weird going on between them and I can't figure out what their plan is but something is going on. This wasn't a coincidence.'

In a string of cutting messages exchanged on Instagram, which have been seen by The Sun, Emma ripped into Harry's looks, calling him 'butters' and saying he had 'got so skinny since I haven't been feeding him.' 'She literally said he 'wouldn't stand a chance now' and told me she couldn't be bothered with the producers messaging her about going on the show,' the insider added. 'It was all very strange because she was asking for a serious relationship with this guy but at the same time she was talking about Harry and Love Island all the time.' They tell us she was initially very against the show and ruled out entering but in a dramatic u-turn that left fans shocked, she made a surprise entrance and then set her sights on him once again. 'She said she wanted to be the bigger person,' they told us, 'but now she's trying to win the whole thing with the same guy she was mocking.' 5 Yasmin's sister has shared her thoughts on them having a master plan Credit: zarasworld17/TikTok 5 Another of Emma's exes believes she's gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back Credit: Eroteme
